Here we go again, another Obama promise and a MAJOR issue with his campaign.

The village idiot is now set to raise taxes on those poor people who he said would never be taxed under his administration.

The Obama promise:

"I pledge that under my plan, no one making less than $250,000 a year will see any type of tax increase," Obama told a crowd in Dover, N.H., last year. "Not income tax, not capital gains taxes, not any kind of tax."

He is breaking records with broken promises and lies.

You were evidently much happier with George Bush in the White House. (You're going to have to look harder for sympathy, however).

You are going to be told that he didnt include new taxes into that. Not sure what there is left to tax that isnt being taxed already to consider something a " new" tax

He's kept a lot more promises than he's broken.

The Obama White House left open the possibility Sunday that the president would break a campaign promise and raise taxes on people earning less than $250,000 to support his health care overhaul agenda.

"There are a number of formulations and we'll wait and see. The important thing at this point is to keep the process moving, to keep people at the table, to the keep the discussions going," Axelrod said. "We've gotten a long way down the road and we want to finish that journey."

That is neat little website but it doesn't take into account when he has broken the same promise multiple times... What is this about compromise? you either raise taxes or you don't, there is not much in between.

I didn't believe Obama's campaign promise on not raising taxes. How do we know McCain wouldn't have raised taxes too?

I knew the Cardinals would make it to the super bowl before last football season started. Prove I didn't.
